In terms of being a good boyfriend Doug, JP, and Harry were all better than Brendan on paper at least. But in terms of how much Ste loved them and how much passion he showed, Brendan was first (by far), Harry 2nd, JP 3rd, and Doug last imo.
Brendan did beat the hell out of Ste. I was saying "on paper", they were are all better boyfriends. In real life would you let someone treat you like that? The manipulation and the beatings? But in terms of "the story" Brendan and Ste had the greatest, most loving, and most passionate relationship. And I believe Brendan is the love of Ste's life based on the show.
This storyline omg its so long and OVERDONE lISTEN RYANS CUTE AND ALL BUT ITS JAIL TIME FOR HIM AND ITS TIME FOR KIM TO BE FREED AND HARRY TO BE RELEASED OMG
so true, but I have a feeling Ryan will not face an jail time, I think that he will run again and ste will be left feeling stupid when he finds out the truth and he will be running back to harrry claiming he is the one for him again.
Time 12:31AM Tues 3/27/18 Harry needs to get out of jail & Be free. Now Ryan & Ste being a couple just seems wrong for now. Ste needs to know that Ryan killed Amy pretty soon not from Ryan but from someone else.
every time Ryan and ste are on I just think this is wrong but I still watch lol, yea . I'm so with you on everything.i want ste to find out from Tegan or Kim. but would he believe them? it would take a lot of convincing and evidence.
+Nikeisha Pounder I think Ryan going to die remember that flash forward Glenn telling Adam to shoot someone I reckon it's Ryan Ryan will be exposed first..
+Team Starry I hope u are right, I can live with that outcome but I still want him to go to prison and harry free. if he dies I hope it's after Harry is free and the truth comes out.
How dare Leela accuse Ste of not loving Brendan or Harry? She wasn’t even around when Brendan was on here. Brendan wasn’t the sweetest guy but damn I loved Stendan especially after that trip to Ireland. Also she totally forgot to mention Doug you know his first husband. Imo Doug was boring asf but he was an amazing husband. He sacrificed a lot for Ste. He even let Ste so he could be with Brendan. Ste just falls in love fast, easy and hopelessly. He can’t help it and it sometimes gets him into trouble and causes a shit ton of drama. Ryan isn’t Ste best pick tho. The guy is pure evil I hope he gets caught and thrown in jail SOON
Every time someones bring up Brendan you can see it in Ste's face how much it hurts him. He might not have truly loved Harry or John Paul, or Doug, or Ryan, but he loved Brendan. And you can just see it as soon as he is mentioned.
on a different note, Ste really did love Brendan, the rest will always be second place but I don't think Ste's ever been with someone he didn't love. Maybe with Ryan there is something else to it, like the connection to Amy and the perfect family idea with the kids. But Ste knows how to love and what that is. Yes he has cheated on almost all them one way or another, a part from brendan, but he does love so that was an unfair comment to make.
DS Thorpe is smart enough to figure out in a couple of hours Ryan killed Amy then make him dumb meeting Ryan in that abandoned school sometimes hate how this soap is written:( Going to miss DS Thorpe liked him a lot the past couple of episodes ☺☺☺
when leela mention harry and jp a slite reaction but when she mention brendan ste face change. im on leela side on this side . first ste said that harry is the one and now he is given ryan a gift i could not take that. jp said this once to ste, he changes guy like he changes his clothes, ste uses the word love with every guy he is with without knowing what it means since brendan.cant wait for this to be over .
Nancy Cottone true, but she did because she know that she would react to that name of all person , I scream she had to go there .She had to mention Brendan.
Leela can't seriously put Harry, John Paul and Ryan in the same league as Brendan. Brendan was taken away from Ste, and Ste truly loved him. And WTF! When is Ryan going to be stopped, until he kills the entire cast!
Team Starry i never said tht ryan us a gd man....he s d worst....i called ste mental coz he s dumb to choose whom he shd love ......do u think he s ok wen he said he loves ryan.....just bcoz of his fluctuating behaviour i called him mental. As he s lead character so he shd behave like one.
Team Starry ste is confused abt the term love.....he love doug....jp....harry...and nw ryaan...acc to me he shd behave like a mature man....he never cared abt harry....harry has done lot for him bt aftr harry bei g prisioned he never take a small step to save harry or atleast minimize his prison period...
+Antara Dutta But at this moment Ste still thinks Harry killed the mother of his kids and he still loves Harry he doesn't love Ryan he's just trying to forget Harry as he thinks he's never going to see him again..
Exactly, Brenden is the love of Ste's life, and Leela had no right bringing Ste's love for him up, she was not there she did not see what they had. The way things are going I would settle for a recast
Brendan was the love that physically abused Ste all the time. Why would anyone want Ste to go back to him? That's the most idiotic thing for any fan to want to happen.
Honestly I don’t like how they make ste and his relationship with Ryan so quick to say I love you’s cause as soon as it’s revealed and harry gets out of jail we know he’s gonna go back and be with him....
DS Thorpe finally solves a crime and he gets kill? What a shame... the very day I was gonna congratulate him... He always thought the worst James Nightingale (Freeing Warren and giving Harry an false alibi)... turns up the worst was hidden in his family 🤷♂️
I’m sorry! I know people are going to disagree majorly with this. But I know Ste made a really bad decision, but Leela is acting like she’s some kind of saint. She’s made bad decisions to. She’s just irateing me lately.
Hahahahhahaaha Leela is my spirit animal right now 😂😂😂. She doesn't know anything about Ste's relationships cos she's a bad sister but she's the only one calling Ste out on his selfishness and frankly his stupidity. He's so desperate to forget his pain over Harry and move on with this rebound, he doesn't know the first thing about his new "boyfriend" and doesn't seem to care either. Anyway PREACH GIRL PREACH 😂😂😂👏👏👏
I used to love Ste, what have they done to him. I miss Harry though, shouldn't he have some scenes with either James or Tony. I feel like the soap is dropping the ball a bit on this storyline. Though the upcoming grooming storyline sounds interesting.
S Jaco It’s still the same Ste. Everyone is forgetting that for all Ste knows harry is the one that killed Amy and Ryan is this perfect innocent man that is in love with him. What is ste meant to do?
Ste doesn't love Ryan at all as soon as Leela mentioned Harry Ste face said it all he still loves Harry so he's force himself to love Ryan to forget that as he still believes Harry killed the mother of his kids (He doesn't know its Ryan yet but he's about too) I need Ste to find out the truth...
This make no sense whatsoever. Ryan being with Kyle, and not Mike, parts of that night, does not prove he killed Amy - it only proves he wasn`t with Mike. And it having been a year since Amy`s death, those voicemails would no longer have been on her cloud, the phone subscription having been inactive for more than 6 months. Therefore it would have been impossible for Thorpe to recover Amy`s voicemails now. His colleagues not having followed up on it last year, those voicemails would have been gone forever, and Thorpe would never have found out Amy knew about Ryan and Kyle. The case would have been as it has been for months now - and the only people who could claim Ryan was implicated in Amy`s death, would have been Tegan and Kim. But since Tegan`s injuries were thought to have been the result of a suicide attempt or drunken accident - and the fact her anger over discovering Ryan and Ste were together - could reduce her credibility as a witness. Likewise Kim`s history as an uninvited house guest in the Osbornes` attic, could undermine her claim of having been kidnapped by Ryan. Especially seen in the light of the fact it was Glenn`s workers who locked and sealed her inside that room in the school, a version where she hid in the school, just like she had hid in the Osbornes` attic, and by accident had been locked in by the workers, could have established reasonable doubt about her claims Ryan had kidnapped her. It wouldn`t have helped Tegan was a colleague of her, either, opening the possibility she lied to help Tegan get revenge on Ryan for having cheated on her with her own brother. Besides, neither Tegan nor Kim could prove Ryan killed Amy. Their claims he had admitted as much to them might not have been admitted in court, cause those claims had been found to be hearsay. But even if they had been permitted introduced as evidence through testimony, the question about both Tegan and Kim`s credibility for the reasons I outlined a little further up, could mean the court would not find their claims solid enough as evidence to dismiss all reasonable doubt about Ryan`s guilt. At the face of things, Ryan looks to have had a very good chance of not being found guilty of either of the three crimes. Prior to his clearly premeditated and intentional killing/attempted killing of his uncle, he could even have had the option of an insanity plea - the defense pointing to the fact all three acts were motivated by the irrational fear of being identified as gay, happened on impulse and without other intent than to prevent the victims from revealing Ryan`s gay secret. Referring to the fact that since Ryan acted very organized after, and in between of, the three crimes, despite all the crimes clearly had been committed by someone much more disorganized and acting on impulse. Proving Ryan had not been his organized self when committing the crimes, and therefore had to have been temporarily insane when conducting the illegal acts. But with the level of intent and premeditation this scene reveals, that insanity plea wouldn`t be an option to avoid being convicted of what he did to his uncle. Which is why it makes no sense Ryan would kill his uncle at this time. Not only is his uncle the only one who both knows and understands him, Ryan would have a good chance of not being found guilty on any of the charges, provided he either refuted Tegan and Kim`s claims the way I described further up, or he went for an insanity plea. For a police detective to not only ruin his best chance of being found not guilty, but killing the close relative who has been like a father to him, makes no sense at all.
Marlon Wallace I fear they are obeying the desire of the viewers for him to be without redemption. Which is something I am very skeptical of, since few Hollyoaks viewers have the necessary knowledge of psychology and law to judge Ryan and his actions fairly. And by seeing their condemnation of him being justified in story line development, it could color their view on real life cases too. Thinking of Ryan when hearing of similar incidents, and jump to conclusions about both guilt and sentence as a consequence.
I really wish you would stop coddling Ryan he's a murderer there are so many people out there who afraid to come out but yet they don't murder people to keep their secret as for Kim hiding in the school the same as when she hid in the Osbournes home why on this earth would she do that she's got a good relationship and was making progress and she hid in the Osbournes home to be close to Esther there's no reason for her to hide in a high school get real and see Ryan for the awful person he is
Wendy Denning Ryan is a fictional character, not a person. And as a fictional character his character development and story lines can either be convincing - or less convincing. Because of the way the story lines has been written - and the reason he both killed Amy, attempted to kill Tegan and kidnapped Kim, was because they had discovered he was gay, a knowledge Ryan was unable to handle anyone having about him, the fact all three crimes were impulsive, motivated by the same need to prevent the fact Ryan himself was gay from being known, this strongly suggest the latter was what triggered Ryan`s actions. And since being gay in the UK hardly is a secret worth killing for, the fact he still did so goes along way to prove he was not in control of his actions and thoughts when he committed his crimes. More suggesting Ryan to have been temporarily insane at the times he committed the crimes, than that he is the monster you yourself, and many others seems to believe him to be. Consequently I believe sending Ryan to prison would be a miscarriage of justice. Ryan cannot be held responsible for actions if he neither is in control of them or have the power to stop himself doing them. The issue isn`t, as you claim, Ryan`s homosexuality. The reason Ryan over many years have built up such an irrational fear of his entire world being threatened, should he be found out to be gay, is the trauma the combination of being discovered with a male by his father, and the fact his father died later the same day, which forced young Ryan having to deal with both guilt and shame , which over the years gave life to this enormous, but irrational, fear, which gradually took over his entire life and personality. Ryan neither intended for this to happen, nor was he able to prevent his irrational fear. Therefore he cannot be held responsible for his actions, due to temporarily insanity. Had Ryan killed Amy, harmed Tegan and kidnapped Kim after thorough planning - so called premeditation, I would have agreed with you he would not have been temporarily insane when committing the crimes. But the fact all of those three crimes were spur of the moment acts, while he afterwards - to cover up what he had done - could be very organized indeed, proves the disorganized part of him to be linked to the irrational fear of being exposed as gay. making him temporarily insane, and to lose control over his actions and thoughts, whenever his irrational fear was triggered. That fear is what makes Ryan dangerous. Had it not been for that fear, he would have most likely have been a happy gay man, living with Ste and the kids. i judge the story lines and characters based on how authentic I find them being depicted. There is a lot of what we have seen Ryan do in the story line, which I believe he never would have done in real life, had he been an actual person. One of them being killing his uncle. Since I don`t see Ryan, nor any of the other characters, as persons, I can only relate to the story line and character as works of fiction. And as such they can either be of a higher or lesser quality - not good or bad. In fact I strongly believe only acts can be good or bad. Therefore I don`t believe there are good and bad people, only good or bad acts and deeds.Good people are, just as Santa Claus, a myth to make us feel better as individuals, but which doesn`t really convey much truth about the world we live in.
Tvjunkieful12 you know what I give up you will never admit that insane or not that he should have to pay for his crimes I mean he took a mother from her children I don't care if it was premeditated or not that's just wrong and poor tegan will never be the same but at least she's not locked up like Kim is who's probably going to die alone because no one is even looking for her as for him being a real person I didn't mean he was I was just using that word because we were talking about the story line
Joseph Vorder Bruegge. I agree completely and for some reason the producers and writers treat him as if he never existed. Even the so-called pride documentary excluded him. Doug was Ste's first husband and he loved Ste so much he (Doug) gave him (Ste) up at the airport. No one comes even close. At least there are some who are willing to publicly admit that. Thank you.
Doug letting Ste go was an amazing act of love. He made the right choice, he knew all a long he was ste's second choice even if he was the saver and better choice. But Doug deserved to be someone's first choice, sadly he died before he ever got to be. I think none of Ste's later Bf's fit because as Kieron said: Ste's looking for something that will fit the hole brendan left, but nobody is like brendan, so he goes from one to the other, looking for the closest thing.
*deep inhale* can we please wrap this up? Pretty please? We don’t even have to have Starry anymore(even though they were hella hot) just... please make this make sense again
I love how everyone is afraid of going to prison always saying how they can't handle it yet it doesn't stop them from comitting violant crimes. They are all so bad ass when they are comitting crimes but when they facing prison then the tears come. Ste talking abt rings and comitment with Ryan ugh really what is wrong with him?????
why ste?? and why ryan??? Has he forgot about someone he had pleaded to choose for him . i can't believe he puts Harry off his mind. did he even realize that he's the only man Harry loves most. Harry needs to get back. all i want to see how ste's face when he saw Harry got off the jail. ste and harry needs to get back. The end with.
